Chapter 2358: The Defeat of Anselm (Part )

2359: The Defeat of Anselm (Part )
A large group of Undertaker-class light cruisers have now broken into the Imperial fleet's formation and are engaged in a fight with a large number of Imperial warships.

It was at this time that Girard Perrine realized what it meant to be a tough guy and a troublemaker.

After entering the melee, these warships had more room to play because they did not have to face the powerful frontal firepower of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers. Especially the Aquitens-class light cruisers and Nightwatch-class frigates deployed by Girard Pellaeon at the rear of the formation. After engaging in a battle with the Undertaker-class, they realized that something was wrong.

After being attacked, the Undertaker-class light cruiser immediately began to emit a beam of rays containing a large number of nanorobots to quickly repair the surrounding friendly warships. Not only that, these warships were originally cargo holds, but now they were equipped with several rapid-fire turrets, which poured out a large number of powerful shells in a short period of time!

In a corner of the battlefield, a formation of ten Undertaker-class light cruisers rushed fiercely towards a Victory II-class Star Destroyer. The Victory II-class Star Destroyer was already adjusting its direction, but when it spotted this formation, it turned its guns and fired a volley of shots without any hesitation.

The Undertaker in the front was immediately engulfed in flames, its main armor belt melted, and its internal facilities caught fire. However, almost at the same time, several Undertaker ships around it immediately fired a light green beam of light, which quickly extinguished the flames in the illuminated area, and the armor was also recovering rapidly.

Trillions of nanorobots are repairing the damaged spacecraft at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only the outer armor, but even the damaged equipment can be restored to a certain extent!
At the same time, several other Undertaker-class ships had broken through at high speed, approaching from the top, bottom, left and right directions, and then extended four turrets from their cargo holds and fired wildly at the Victory II-class ship.

The firepower of 10 Undertaker-class light cruisers actually caused the bridge of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer to keep alarming! According to computer analysis, what they fired looked like a beam of light, but in fact, the computer detected that it had both energy and kinetic energy attacks! And the power was extremely huge!

The Victory II-class Star Destroyer was also firing back, and its heavy turbolaser cannons soon severely damaged two other Undertaker-class ships, but these ships were damaged but not sunk, and they were quickly withdrawn while other ships were performing remote repairs. The deflector shield of the Victory II-class Star Destroyer had also been broken at this moment!

"What kind of guns are these ships using?! There's no way they can have such power!" The captain of the Victory II-class star destroyer exclaimed. He quickly ordered his warships to retreat, not daring to continue to engage with these light cruisers.

At the same time, this is also the voice of the vast majority of Imperial battleship captains who exchanged fire with Undertaker-class light cruisers on the battlefield. Why are the firepower of these light cruisers so powerful?
However, despite their sighs, the Imperial Navy officers also realized that although these Undertaker-class tanks had strong firepower, their range was extremely limited, so they had to rush to close range to exert their firepower.

On the other side of the battlefield, Admiral Mal-Tuk smiled with satisfaction when he saw that his fleet had completely destroyed the Imperial Fleet's formation. He waved his hand and said, "Don't give these Imperials a chance to breathe! Let the Undertaker-class formation keep charging and fighting! Don't worry about the losses!"

"Roger!" The T-series tactical robot immediately passed on the order.

Admiral Mal-Touk was not distressed because, on the one hand, the Trade Federation that manufactured the Undertaker class was indeed rich, and on the other hand, it was because the first batch of Undertaker class produced was actually defective by the standards of the Kingdom of Dawn Navy. During the initial construction, Newt Gunray had the Undertaker class's huge cargo hold retained, intending to use this type of warship as an armed cargo ship. Therefore, the initial Undertaker class actually had very weak firepower and was equipped with a remote repair system that could remotely repair other warships with nanorobots.

This kind of warship naturally could not be sent to the battlefield, so after being scolded by General Ling Liang, the Trade Federation modified these warships. They reduced the capacity of the cargo hold and installed four heavy ion blaster cannons.

The Ion Blaster is a new type of artillery that the Trade Federation has analyzed from Gallente's technological data. The shooting force of this artillery is to split rare metals into subatomic particle spheres, and then use magnetic fields to constrain them before firing. This attack can sometimes even pass through without triggering the deflector shield. After hitting the armor, the subatomic particles can directly penetrate into the middle of the armor metal and then release energy, causing extremely serious damage to the armor.

However, the disadvantage is that this state cannot last long. After launch, the magnetic field confinement can only last for a maximum of about 0.7 seconds.
This results in the ion blaster cannon having a range of only a few dozen kilometers.

Of course, since the performance of these Undertaker-class cruisers, which have been modified into strange creatures, is not up to standard, the naval officers and soldiers of the Galactic Empire have not paid too much attention to this weapon that will become one of their biggest nightmares in the future. They just think that these ugly-looking cruisers that look like mud trucks have strong firepower.

These Undertaker-class ships are just troublemakers and are very annoying, but as the battle has progressed, the number of Imperial warships that have actually been sunk by the Undertaker-class ships is still very small.

However, at this moment, due to the brief chaos caused by the sudden betrayal of the planet Geller-Anselm, the Undertaker-class broke into the center of the Imperial Fleet's formation. This allowed the other warships of the Commercial Union Fleet to maximize their firepower, whether it was the two twin-mounted hypermatter electromagnetic cannons of the Cole II-class battlecruiser or the Yamato guns of the Minotaur-class heavy cruiser, which were truly powerful firepower outputs.

Faced with the aggressive commercial coalition fleet, Gilad Peraeon once again retreated. He had judged that if the battle continued like this, his fleet would definitely suffer very serious losses.

If it were in the past, the Galactic Empire would not be afraid of competing with the Principality of Dawn in terms of battle losses, but now, after losing nearly 1000 battleships in a battle on the planet Kira, the Galactic Empire no longer has such confidence.

What's more, Girard Perrine's fleet was drawn from defense lines in various places. Once this fleet suffered serious losses, it would mean that the defense line he had painstakingly built for ten years would become riddled with holes!

And under such a strategic situation, don't expect the Galactic Empire to send much reinforcement!

Girard Perrine was a very decisive man. He immediately issued an order, "Notify all ships to withdraw from the battle one by one and prepare to retreat!" He must not wait until he was really defeated before retreating. If he did that, it would not be a retreat, but a massacre.

However, just as he gave the order, a radar soldier screamed at the top of his lungs, "General!! A fleet appeared behind us!! It's the Geth!! It's the Geth!!!"
